Usually much faster
yes
Information is stored in the computer's hard drive, which is a magnetic disk read by lasers.
A disk drive is a device that computers can use to read and write information on computer disk. An example of one is the hard disk drive.
The hard disk drive stores information on the computer. It has read and write capabilities and the information stays there when the computer is turned off.
Yes, a hard disk can access information faster than a DVD disk. Hard disks have faster read and write speeds due to their mechanical components and magnetic storage technology, allowing for quicker data retrieval. In contrast, DVDs rely on optical technology, which is inherently slower because it involves reading data through a laser. As a result, hard disks typically provide much better performance for data access.
HDD stands for Hard drive disk. The HDD is what all your files are saved to. It a double sided disk that is build to be read at extremely high speeds.
False. Most all HDD's read information using a needle, like a record player.
Disk encryption protects the data on a hard drive from being read by someone that isn't authorized. Disk encryption works by converting the information on the drive to unreadable data.
Hard-disks are coated with iron oxide because it reacts to a magnetic source ! The information on a hard-disk is read and written by a magnetic 'head' which scans across the surface as the disk rotates.
A hard disk can be either internal or external and one can use it to save files. The parts of a hard disk are the disk case, spindle, disk platter, actuator and the read-write arm.
IF you meant 'what is a corrupt hard disk' - it's the internal mass-storage in a computer. If it's 'corrupted' it means the information cannot be read.
A floppy disk DRIVE can read, erase and save information on a floppy disk. The disk can't do it by himself.
